I don’t know what Jonathon is going to do.  He is now getting peace  offers from two opposing sides.  He has already accepted one and now he has the second.  I assume that the ones offering the deal want the Jews on their side not the other, so he cannot accept both.  I would think you have to stick with your first deal.

I was shocked that Jonathon accepted the high priest position.  That doesn’t sound like something he should do.  God should appoint the high priest, not the king of the Romans.  It just surprised me that it was accepted so quickly.  I wonder if their might be some repercussions for that in the future.
